Should I Get Lower Leg Lipo?

Calf and ankle liposuction can be very gratifying and make a big difference in the shape (not the size) of the lower leg between the knees and the ankles. By selecting removing small fatty areas and making curves in the favorable silhouette areas of the inner knee, upper and lower calfs and ankles, the shape of the lower legs from the front can be made more pleasing. This is done with small cannulas. The biggest issue lower leg liposuction (liposculpture really) is that there will be prolonged swelling due to the gravity and the high venous pressures in the lower leg. It will take several months to really appreciate the final result.

Liposuction of the calves and the knees can be done with smaller, more delicate cannulae which remove the fat in a less aggressive manner than standard liposuction cannulae.  Since your current surgery planned includes full body liposuction and a tummy tuck, it would be safer and more precise to delay the lower body liposuction of your calves and knees after this initial surgery.  A delay would more precisely define the planned shape of your calves as it relates to the smaller thigh volume after liposuction of the inner and outer thighs.  Proportion is always important.  This is an example not doing too much surgery at one time for safer, better results.
